a lot of child actors to make it and a whole lot who don't. how did you make it into the i need it category? >> i asked myself that a lot. i did my first movie with river phoenix. for some reason, i got to thinking about river the other day. an average did this before, but this is the world we live in nearby googled him. because we did a movie together, there were some pictures of me in there, too, but the pictures of me, i was 35 and 37 and 40. all of his never get past 23 or 24. it was this amazing sadness about all of the things he did i get to see. i remember when he passed away thinking this will sound awful, but there is a certain, when you're young, it is better to burn out than it away. oh, man, i had a lot of respect for him. i thought he was a great artist. there was a sense of, wow, man, this is what legends are made of. and now that is complete idiocy. the fact that he did not get to have children or broke with his family for the work he could be doing, the good he would be doing in the world -- acting, celebrity, fame, all of this
